Flooding and downed trees and power lines made it very difficult to drive in or out of Princeton Sunday.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, Princeton's many waterways, small and large, overflowed their banks, flooding bridges and low-lying areas.

(3:40pm update:  Mercer Street and Quaker Road are open.  Most of 206 still closed.  Be prepared for aggravated rush-hour delays.)

Several major roads were still closed as of 9 o'clock this morning, after last night's strong winds brought down trees and power lines around Princeton.

The Princeton Township Police Department is urging drivers to respect the Detour signs, orange cones, and road closure tapes that have gone up overnight, as PSE&G crews struggle to restore service in various parts of town.

Lulled to sleep by the sound of a rare thundersnowstorm, Princeton residents woke up to the task of digging themselves out from 10.5 inches of snow.

On top of the previous three snowstorms, that makes this month the snowiest January in more than half a century.

And brace yourselves, there's more in the near-term forecast, according to the National Weather Service.

At 4:50pm Sunday, the satellite radar shows Princeton right at the center of Sunday's winter storm system.
